Abstract:
Robots and autonomous vehicles that operate in complex dynamical environments have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Avoiding obstacles and finding a passable route to the destination is one of the important and basic functions of mobile robots. In this paper, we take our cue from the obstacle-avoidance mechanism in animals, and discuss how to enable robots to find a passable route using only two-dimensional images from a single usual camera without any distance information. We simulate the dynamic changes in visual information and obtain the necessary conditions for a mobile robot to determine impending collisions with an obstacle in its path.
